How To Get the Home of Your Dreams – Even In a Frustrating Market



Watch on your mobile device >>

We understand how difficult it is to decide you want to buy a home, venture out into the real estate market, find out how few choices there are these days and then discover that so many others are going through the same thing. So we wanted to share with you some of the strategies that we impart to help our buyers actually WIN their bids.

First, it’s important to understand just why there are so many buyers lurking the marketplace nowadays. For starters, interest rates are at their lowest they have been for years – in fact, they are still hovering at historic low levels and we all know they will eventually climb back up again. Second, there is a lot of pent up demand given last year’s Presidential election followed by the fiscal cliff crisis. Before all that was years of economic strain that went hand in hand with our housing market crash in 2007.

So that explains why so many buyers are eager to lock in the low rates and home prices are still affordable. How can you be sure to win your bid as you compete against a sea of other buyers? Here are a few ideas that Team Diaz implements to make it happen for you:

Get a prequalification or preapproval from your lender
Remove some contingencies to make it as easy as possible on the seller
Make your highest and best offer in the first place
Be realistic and don’t expect lowball offers to be taken seriously

The bottom line is that we want to see our clients happy and we make it happen by getting them the homes they want. If you allow Team Diaz to negotiate every step of the process, and to move quickly and strategically on your behalf – we WILL make it happen!
